I'll be posting my latest assemblages here over the next few days. There are 18, all of which will be on display and (most) for sale at the Oliver Center for the Arts July 28 - September 8, 2017 as part of an exhibition, "Bugs, Birds and Beasts."
Here's the second of the “Swarm” assemblages.
Swarm II: Waiting
$800
Diaea dorsata “Floreo” is a Green Crab Spider. She patiently waits as 11 insects buzz around below her lair. One of them will be dinner tonight.
This spider can change its color to fit its surroundings. The males have an extended, non-damaging combat ritual: They stand opposed, stretch their front legs and dance around each other. This can go on for hours.
Materials: Wire bird cage (modified), brass doorknob, wire, recycled jewelry, vintage chandelier crystals, Cotswold sheep wool, antique buttons, machine parts, paint.
Assemblage Dimensions: 32” x 16” x 16”
